  1. Oops, you ninja posted on me I'm assuming you mean after the front battery (on its way to the second battery), before the back battery(coming from the front battery), and after the back battery(going to the amp)?
  2. Would something like this be what I need to get? If not, could anyone provide a link to the correct isolator for my application (if it's necessary)?
  3. Ok. Is it necessary, or is it precautionary?
  4. *Jeopardy song plays* **crickets churp**
  5. You're already above the recommended size for using the 15" XCON in a sealed enclosure. Why would you want a larger cubic foot measurement?
  6. For now, no.. I'm taking it one step at a time... This is my first vehicle (that I've kept), first box build, first everything. I've taken in a shitload of information in the last few months, and I'm not sure if my brain can keep up with learning about components. There's still so much to learn about subwoofers, amplifiers, and enclosures, that I feel I need to master them before I add another learning process into the mix. School gets out at the end of this month. Should have everything hooked up here in the next few days, videos will be up as soon as I do get around to wiring everything. My question to you guys: Do I need an isolator between the front and back batteries? I went to a car audio shop to get fuses and terminals (they turned out to be out of stock ), and the guy working in there was throwing a bunch of information at me that seemed completely irrelevant. He mentioned that w/o an isolator, the front and back batteries would kill each other due to them being different sizes (along with a bunch of other BS)... Is this true? I trust you guys more than I do the shop dude.. I walked out of that store with nothing because I figured I'd ask the fellas on here before I bought something I didn't need.
  7. Dropped the truck off at a local car shop. I'm getting a new 2-way alarm put on w/ remote start. Also brand new Orion components all the way around (2 in front doors, 2 in back, and tweeters mounted somewhere). Pics later today when I pick it up. Anybody have any experience with these components? The guy had them in his car and they sounded nice, so I went for it.
  8. Google Chrome is where it's at
  9. mC CROWNandCOKE MW2 sniping all day!! Ladder stall 720 reload cancel no scope silent shot (meh) you name it. I marathon snipe
  10. Thanks for the input guys. Just bought one. Maybe it'll come in some time this week!!
  11. That's the one, appreciate it man. Do you or does anyone else have any experience with these meters? Are they any good?
  12. Did a quick search on the forums and came up empty. I saw somebody post a link to one on ebay a while ago, but I can't seem to find it. I'm not positive that that is the correct name... When I say voltage meter, I mean something like this. Feel free to correct me if I'm using that phrasing incorrectly. Just wonderin where I can find the best one for the money.
  13. That makes sense man, I appreciate it!
  14. 45d all corners.. Forgot about that. How much space would that take up do you think? Here is where I have the 45s.. My guess is that tuning will increase, but I'm not sure how much..
  15. This *should* be the correct screenshot of the box specs. I double-checked it this time, but if you see something I missed, please inform me so I can fix it
  16. If you add the sub displacement you had before the freq. of tuning will be a little higher. Balls I keep forgetting to do stuff lol! I'll have the updated screenshot when I get home today thanks for the heads up AGAIN Sefugi!
  17. Here is the new screenshot. I'm even happier with this frequency. Thanks for the heads up on the port walls Sefugi!!
  18. What exactly is the # of common port walls? Why is mine 3? I'm on my phone and I can't pull up the calculator.. Much easier for you to look at the pics provided in the help section of the program than for me to expalain. Will do thanks man.
  19. What exactly is the # of common port walls? Why is mine 3? I'm on my phone and I can't pull up the calculator..
  20. I'm right up the road in Huntsville. Hopefully I can get my system done by then! Ill be there whether it's done or not Is there a way to enter or is it just to show off vehicles they have?

    3/4" MDF is fine for the N2. If you don't have it yet, download this and play around with some of the dimensions. DO NOT use the RE calculator found here, as it tunes way too low. Good luck!
  22. Qs perform excellently in sealed boxes. As long as you have the box built to the correct specifications, which can be found here, you should be good to go.
  23. Yes, that helps. So it will still play frequencies lower than the tuning frequency of the box, but it won't be as loud as the frequency that the box is tuned to, correct? Yes and the frequencies will (i should say, should) be attenuated by subsonic filter to keep the driver within it's mechanical limits. Which is 2-3Hz below box tuning, correct? So if my box is tuned to 35Hz, the SF should be right at 32?
  24. Yes, that helps. So it will still play frequencies lower than the tuning frequency of the box, but it won't be as loud as the frequency that the box is tuned to, correct?
